-


Baldwin Directory Company, Inc., publishers of your city directory, takes pleasure in presenting the 1938 edition to the general public. A large force of trained enumerators and solicitors worked diligently in the preparation of this volume and we are confident that the result is an authentic and useful city directory.


We have faith in the continued growth of your city and we believe that our directory will take its place as one of the vital instruments for the advancement of your community. Subsequent editions will be issued promptly and regularly.


CHARLESTON


CITY DIRECTORY 1936


This volume is an example of the ABCD type of city directory as origi- nated and developed by the Baldwin Directory Company, Inc. In the mod- ern business world with its greatly changed sales and credit systems, the old type of directory has become completely obsolete. In adapting the directory to modern conditions the Baldwin organization is the pioneer. The excellent city directory which your city now has is the result of the pro- gressive spirit of this company and its accurate interpretation of modern business requirements.


SEVEN DIVISIONS OF THE BOOK


The principal parts of the Baldwin Directory are as follows:


1. The Miscellaneous Directory contains a great deal of useful in- formation concerning the national, state and local governments. In it are listed the names of members of congress and the state legislature, city and county officials.


2. The Buyer's Guide and Civic Section is made up of the advertise- ments of the leading business firms of the city, announcements of churches, clubs, lodges, associations and schools, and professional cards of public-spirited lawyers, physicians and dentists. The display spaces have been carefully grouped and indexed under headings which are descriptive of the business engaged in by each firm. The Buyers' Guide, when properly arranged and distributed, is of tremendous value in the building of business in the community.


INTRODUCTION


3. The Resident Directory contains most of the data concerning the individual. The wife's name is given in parenthesis, and the number of dependents under 16 is shown as well as the ownership of homes. This is followed by position, place of employment and home address.


4. The Householders' Directory contains a complete directory of streets and avenues, properly located, gives the names of all householders arranged as they come upon the streets and avenues, indicates ownership of property.


5. The Business Directory and List of Nationally Advertised Brands contains the names of all business firms, professional people and non-profit organizations, properly classified. In this division are also listed the names of nationally advertised brands of merchandise, with the name of the local agents and distributors.


6. The Numerical Telephone Directory contains telephone numbers arranged in numerical sequence.


7. The Rural Routes Directory, which follows the Numerical Tele- phone Directory, is used constantly in reaching rural residents with adver- tising matter and other mail.


SPECIAL ABCD FEATURES


The following valuable information which appears in the ABCD type of directory is not to be found in the old-style city directory :


Number of dependents under sixteen;


Designation of home ownership;


Telephone Numbers on Street Guide;


Numerical Telephone Directory;


Nationally Advertised Brands.


In addition to these valuable features, the ABCD type of directory is more conservatively styled, printed on better paper and more beautifully bound, arranged for more convenient use and contains a much more complete civic section. Directory stands are maintained in the business district for the use of the general public.


THE HOUSEHOLDERS' SUPPLEMENT


After including every conceivable feature which would tend to make the directory as useful and attractive as possible, the originators of the ABCD type of directory made one more bold stroke -they established a guaranteed home circulation for advertising matter by issuing the House- holders' Supplement and delivering it to the homes of the community. Every advertisement which appears in a Baldwin directory also appears in the Householders' Supplement, making the Baldwin Directory "Amer- ica's greatest dollar-for-dollar advertising medium" today.

"You'll Like Concord" By HARRY LEE JOHNSTON Secretary CONCORD MERCHANTS ASSOCIATION


Concord is located in the heart of the famous Piedmont Plateau, which section is noted for its industry, rich farm lands and climate. The city occupies an ideal elevation of 703 feet. It is only three to four hours drive from the seashore or

the mountains and the climate is regarded as near perfect.


Concord is on the main line (dou- ble tracked) of the Southern Rail- way and is 359 miles south of Wash- ington and 289 miles north of Atlan- ta. The county is also traversed by the Norfolk - Southern Railway which runs from Charlotte, N. C., to Norfolk, Va. These railroads give the city and county excellent pas- senger and freight service to all leading markets, both north and south. The city also has excellent motor bus transportation, with direct service being maintained to all nearby points.


Concord is located in, and is the county seat of Cabarrus County and has a population of approxima- tely 15,000 people. The city has shown a steady growth through the past several years and is now one of the best managed cities in the country and is in excellent condition financially. The people of the city as a whole are prosperous. Living and working conditions are excel-


10


"YOU'LL LIKE CONCORD"


lent and the unemployment per- centage is low.


The county has an estimated population of 50,000 and Concord serves a trading area consisting of some 75,000 to 100,000 people, and with the splendid system of high- ways and good roads leading into the city it offers an ideal trading center.


In Cabarrus County and located six miles north of Concord is the thriving city of Kannapolis, which place lays claim to the distinction of being the largest unincorporated city in the world. Kannapolis has a population of some 12,000 to 15,000 people and is the home of Cannon Mills Company who operate the largest towel mills in the world. This city is truly a hive of industry.


City Government


The city of Concord has the alder- manic form of government and the governing body consists of a mayor and six aldermen, with one alder- man elected from each of the city's five wards, and one at large. They are elected for a term of two years.


Concord now has a tax rate of $1.20 per $100.00 valuation, which shows a substantial reduction since 1930 at which time the tax rate was $1.42 per $100.00 valuation and in 1933 the valuation of real estate was lowered by 20 per cent. The total assessed valuation of real and personal property for tax purposes is $12,600,000.00.


First Presbyterian Church


The city has always enjoyed good government and its financial mat- ters have been ably handled. The peak of the city's indebtedness was reached in 1925 when the net debt reached the sum of $1,440,000.00. Since that time the debt has been steadily reduced until at this time the net debt stands at $720,034.00, which represents a reduction of 50 per cent in eleven years. The city has an efficient engineering depart- ment and has modern facilities for handling this work. Protection is afforded the citizens and property of Concord by a police force of 17 members and maintains a modern and efficient fire department equip- ped with the latest devices in fire fighting equipment.
